**Domain credentials** | You can add **Domain credentials** by selecting the option from the drop-down in the **Add credentials** modal. <br/><br/> To provide domain credentials, you need to specify the **Domain name** which must be provided in the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) format (for example, prod.corp.contoso.com). <br/><br/> You also need to specify a friendly name for credentials, username, and password. For physical discovery, specify the username in Down level format (domain\username) and UPN format (
[email protected]) isn't supported. <br/><br/> The domain credentials added will be automatically validated for authenticity against the Active Directory of the domain. This validatoin is to prevent any account lockouts when the appliance attempts to map the domain credentials against discovered servers. <br/><br/> To validate the domain credentials with the domain controller, the appliance should be able to resolve the domain name. Ensure that you've provided the correct domain name while adding the credentials else the validation will fail.<br/><br/> The appliance won't attempt to map the domain credentials that have failed validation. You need to have at least one successfully validated domain credential or at least one nondomain credential to start the discovery.<br/><br/>The domain credentials mapped automatically against the Windows servers will be used to perform software inventory and can also be used to discover web apps, and SQL Server instances and databases _(if you've configured Windows authentication mode on your SQL Servers)_.<br/> [Learn more](/dotnet/framework/data/adonet/sql/authentication-in-sql-server) about the types of authentication modes supported on SQL Servers.
